Warm and Cozy Fall Desserts

If you ask us, our best fall desserts are always in season. But these served-warm treats—boasting pumpkin, chocolate, apple, cinnamon, and more—are just right for a crisp autumn night. Whether the leaves are starting to turn or not, these cozy desserts are sure to hit the spot.

Apple Sheet Cake

Apple butter, dried apples, and fresh baking apples bring tart sweetness to the batter and topping of this incredibly moist sheet cake dessert. Fall's favorite fruit is on full display when you place a few thinly sliced apples on top before baking the apple dessert.

Chocolate Bread Pudding

Bread pudding is one of those desserts that elicits oohs and aahs for minimal chef effort. You'll need just 30 minutes of hands-on time and zero chopping skills to create this lush milk chocolate fall dessert that serves a crowd.

Clementine-Fig Spice Cake

Tart clementines and lush figs marry with traditional spice cake flavors in these single-serve fall treats that you bake in custard cups. Even better? Our tip for making the cakes boozy with a rum soak.

Bourbon-Cranberry Cookies

These fall cookies are no dessert afterthought. Bourbon-soaked cranberries, rolled oats, chopped macadamia nuts, a homemade Bourbon Ganache topping, and a sprinkling of flaked sea salt take these way beyond milk-dunkers.

Peanut Butter-Swirl Chocolate Brownies

These extra-peanut-buttery, extra-chocolaty brownies are surprisingly low-cal. And with possibilities for sugar and flour substitutes, you can customize the easy fall dessert to match special dietary needs.

Caramel Apple-Cherry Pie

Take classic caramel apple flavor to new heights with our pretty cherry pie. A splash of orange juice and a handful of fresh cranberries create a fruit filling that adds a hint of tartness in this autumn dessert recipe.

Brownie Waffles a la Mode

Rich chocolate with espresso powder (an optional ingredient, but we recommend it for the kick) takes morning waffles and turns them into a fall dinner finisher. Serve with fudge topping and a spoon of ice cream.

Mini Maple-Pecan Pies

Our adorable personalized pecan pies are just the dessert for an after-dinner treat (or even Thanksgiving!). Pure maple syrup and tons of pecans make each bite of the fall dessert absolutely delicious.

Crumb-Topped Apple Slab Pie

Not only is our apple slab pie one of our top fall dessert recipes, but it's one of our most popular recipes of all time! We're not surprised: A buttery crumb topping made with crunchy rolled oats and finely chopped pecans balances its sweet apple filling.

Pear Dumplings with Maple-Orange Sauce

Delicious pear dumplings are an impressive treat on their own, but our homemade maple-orange sauce brings them to the next level. Even better, the elegant fall desserts take just over a half hour to prepare.
